A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

If you don't like the way communities are being moderated, maybe you should find/start a server that more aligns with your values.
The fediverse imposes censorship through de-federation, as opposed to being decentralized that only requires protocol configuration with any software designed to communicate through said protocols. Fediverse requires approval before accepting messages from other servers
Wait, so people can choose whether or not they're subjected to hate speech? What tyranny!
What is cinsidered hate speech and what is not considered hate speech for pointing out fallacies in people's statements, questioning someone's pathology, or showing someone's deceptive framing?
The idea is that people can block what they don't want to see. Some users/communities/instances are more open, and others are more closed off. There's nothing stopping you from finding a place that aligns with what you want
If someone doesn't want to interact with you, you're not going to accomplish anything by forcing them to interact with you.
